A slow download is usually just processing. After you record or upload, Sendspark converts your video into an .MP4 file so it works anywhere, and this can take about as long as the video itself (a 15-minute video takes roughly 15 minutes). If it seems stuck, refresh the page or contact us through the chatbot.

Key takeaways

  • Processing can take about as long as the length of the video — a 1-minute video takes roughly 1 minute, a 15-minute video roughly 15 minutes.
  • The wait is because Sendspark converts your video to an .MP4 file so it’s universally accepted anywhere you share it.
  • If it feels like it’s taking too long, refresh the page or reach out through the chatbot.
